Spring boot Rest Api controller getting 404 error

Question

I'm exposing my services by using Rest in Spring boot. I'm exposing my service with 2 different approach first by using cxf jaxrs dependency and other by spring rest dependency. In first approach i'm getting 404 error when i run my services in postman. But in second approach i'm getting my output. Please help me out.

First approach with cxf jaxrs

@Path("/locations")
public interface LocationRestController {

@GET
public List<Location> getLocations();
}
******************************************
@RestController
public class LocationRestControllerImpl implements LocationRestController {

@Autowired
LocationRepos repos;

@Override

public List<Location> getLocations() {

    return repos.findAll();
}}
{
"timestamp": "2018-09-17T03:36:05.283+0000",
"status": 404,
"error": "Not Found",
"message": "No message available",
"path": "/locationweb/locations"
}

Second approach using spring inbuilt dependency

@RestController
@RequestMapping("/locations")
public class LocationRestControllerImpl  {

@Autowired
LocationRepos repos;

@GetMapping
public List<Location> getLocations() {

    return repos.findAll();
}}

please refer below code for correct implementation

public interface LocationRestController {

public List<Location> getLocations();
}
******************************************
@RestController(value="/locationweb/locations")
public class LocationRestControllerImpl implements LocationRestController {

@Autowired
LocationRepos repos;

@Override
@GetMapping
public List<Location> getLocations() {

    return repos.findAll();
}}
{

Thanks Gaurav it work but its similar to my second approach but my question is why i can't do it with cxf dependency by using "@path" and "@get" annotation as "@getmapping" is spring inbuilt binding

GauravRai1512 Over a year ago

Hi Abhishek, As per my understanding @Path is only applicable at implementation level means class level, not interface that's why it's not working.

This line might be the issue

@RestController
public class LocationRestControllerImpl implements LocationRestController {

remove @RestController from the class in 1st approach

Well then there is some issue in your setting. To start with check web.xml to see what servlet you have registered Spring's or Cfx's . Refer this for more in detail baeldung.com/apache-cxf-with-spring

Abhishek Kumar Over a year ago

I'm using spring boot and in that using cxf dependency

MyTwoCents Over a year ago

In that case use cxf-spring-boot-starter-jaxws dependency and remove spring-boot-starter-web. Refer this cxf.apache.org/docs/springboot.html

Try this example, https://dzone.com/articles/spring-boot-building-restful-web-services-with-jersey

Most probably you are missing Spring/Jersey integration or Jersey Configuration.

Do add Jersey Configuration for Spring boot to understand Jersey.

Below is the code for Jersey Configuration for convenience.

@Configuration
@ApplicationPath("rest")
public class Config extends ResourceConfig {

public Config() {       
}

@PostConstruct
public void setUp() {
    register(Controller.class);
}
}

If i'm using cxf then what is the need to add jersey dependency

Make sure you have CXF configuration and set as a service bean as if you use @RestController you are actually not implementing CXF so to order to handle requests by CXF, you need to configure CXF server.

    @Configuration
    public class CXFConfig {

      @Autowired
      private Bus bus;


      @Bean
      public Server rsServer() {
         final JAXRSServerFactoryBean endpoint = new JAXRSServerFactoryBean();
         endpoint.setBus(bus);
         endpoint.setAddress("/");
         endpoint.setServiceBeans(Arrays.asList(LocationRestController ()));
         return endpoint.create();
      }

    @Bean
    public LocationRestController locationController() {
       return new LocationRestControllerImpl();
       }

    }

Note: No need to implement a controller, you can have directly controller.
